stony Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) Hey guys need some help. Has anyone ever used or found any type of adapter that screws into the master cylinder so i can use a -3an fitting right off the master. before I tore the car down i had a mixture of metric and standard size fitting for the line lock and other things. I want to get away from that and use all -3an stuff. i found a banjo to -3 for the front calipers just need something for the master cylinder. Thanks in advance.

mark Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) Is this it? It's been awhile but I believe this was the part I used. EAR592032 EARL'S PERFORMANCE EARL'S PERFORMANCE 592032 Caliper Adapt -3 to 10mmX1.0 EARL'S PERFORMANCE 592032 Caliper Adapt -3 to 10mmX1.0 Caliper Adapt -3 to 10mmX1.0 Fittings, Brake, Steel, Zinc Plated, Male -3 AN to Male 10mm x 1.0 Thread, Pair EARL'S PERFORMANCE 592032 $14.99 ... more info http://www.eraceware.com/brakes-1574/brake-fittings-1603/ I've also used 1\8 NPT to #3 fittings on the brake calipers with teflon tape onthe npt part. The threads on the npt side are a few thousands away from the 10x1.0 thread and have not had any issues going on 15 years on my lt-1 car.

stony Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 ONe more question is it safe to use -3 an tube nuts, sleeves, and tees that are aluminum in a brake system? i know steel would be best but an fittings look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aluminum fittings are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
